The Indian Review April 1946 A Monthly Periodical Devoted to the Discussion of All Topics of Interest

1946

Though it was late in life that I did ten thousand miles of sea voyage I felt the fascination of the sea even as a boy when reading poems like Casabianca " the Loss of the Royal George " and " the Wreck of the Hesperus." I did not find the least difficulty in understanding these stories on the contrary I felt them instinctively. [...] It was in these circumstances that the March Revolution broke out in 1917 with the slogan of Peace Bread and Land." The Revolution was the work of the urban worker bt't the government that was established was a government of the middle classes. [...] The result of his efforts was the conclusion of the Locarno Pact of 1925 and Germany's entry into the League of Nations. [...] Though there has been an increase in direct and indirect taxation during the war period the increase in indirect taxation has hit the poor and the middle classes harder than the rich and the increase in direct taxes has not always been sufficiently progressive with a view to secure equitable distribution of the burden as between different sections of the people. [...] In fact the tax income of India more than doubled during the war period and has reached the peak level beyond which further taxation is now out of the question for the financing of post-war development schemes and the only alternative left open for additional revenue lies largely in the nationalisation of certain industries.
